1019Joanne 0 Posted November 4, 2010 I find that weighing myself everyday was not good for me....however, I know several people who do weigh in daily, and they are fine. I jump on the scale on the 19th of the month, and track from there, since the 19th is the day of the month I had my surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willsmom6 0 Posted November 4, 2010 Since I began with preop Ive tried to just stick with once a week. I was banded on 10/28 and just weighed myself today. I don't have a scale at home but have one in my office. Today was my first day back at work so I weighed. But I weighed myself at least twice today. Think it's because I couldn't believe my eyes. lol. Anyway, I'd like to stick with once a week because I tend to get down if I do it more often, but we'll see.

hapydayz 1 Posted November 4, 2010 I also weigh myself everyday, mostly to keep me on track and also because it is so exciting to actually see my weight keep going down. I have been stuck the last couple of weeks but I love seeing the number that is on the scale, its been way to long since I have seen a number like that with me on the scale! I love my band! :frown: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ape087 1 Posted November 16, 2010 Im one of those once a day, or once every other day people, but I usually record it maybe once or twice a week. Ive taken what my surgeon said in stride (you'll flux 3lbs over and thats normal) so I like to see if Im consistant, or if that 3lbs is a flux. It hasnt sent me into a spiriling eating disorder yet, so Im gonna go with it for now :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GipsyGirl 6 Posted November 16, 2010 I weight myself every day. Sometimes i do not feel like I am loosing at all when I miss a day or two. Then I get on the scale and it is a great surprise - I loose pound by pound. Sometimes I stay on the same number for a couple of days which does make me feel like I am doing something wrong and I know that is not the case but eventually my numbers go down. So, every day...

LapBandBobbi 8 Posted November 16, 2010 I weight myself almost daily, but I don't record it until I have a "for sure" weight loss. I need to see the same number at least 2 days in a row before I believe it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chica125kml 0 Posted November 16, 2010 I try to weigh myself every Friday since that was the day I was banded. If I do it too much then I get discouraged and it's too easy for me to start starving myself (recovering anorexic--I know it's weird that I went the completely opposite way!)

KatieMT 0 Posted November 16, 2010 I weigh just about every morning, first thing. Use the bathroom, weigh, brush my teeth, that's my routine. But, I don't record my weighs at home. Only the ones at my surgeons office. I'm sure that will change once I start going less, but right now I'm going once a month, so it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WrenBird 11 Posted November 17, 2010 I've decided to no longer weigh myself everyday. I'm getting discouraged now that I'm in a plateau stage again. I also stopped using fitday, which was a big no-no on my part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinallyFree0812 9 Posted November 17, 2010 Everyday! Addicted to my scale! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CharCo 0 Posted November 17, 2010 I weigh daily. I can't stand not knowing. It helps keep me focused. Before I was banded I avoided the scale for months because I didn't want to see what it had to say. I am always motivated to weigh when I know that I've been good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
